Herring and Trimble to assume Ulster Rugby captaincy

Ulster Rugby have announced that Rob Herring and Andrew Trimble will captain the squad during the upcoming season.

Herring joined Ulster in 2012 and has amassed 97 appearances for the Province, while Trimble's Ulster career began back in 2005 with a debut against Cardiff.

The experienced duo will replace Best, who had led both Ulster and Ireland since being appointed as national team captain in January this year.
